There was 24 hours, there was also 100 days: Lavrov on Trump's 50-day ultimatum

Moscow wants to understand what is behind Trump's statement about implementing a settlement in Ukraine in 50 days, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated. "Fifty days, previously there was also 24 hours, there was also 100 days, we have been through all this," the Russian FM recalled, adding that the US President himself is under pressure.

"It is clear that he is under the indecent pressure of the current leadership of the EU and NATO, who are shamelessly supporting Zelenskyy's demands to continue supplying him with modern, including offensive, weapons, at the expense of causing more and more damage to the taxpayers of Western countries," Lavrov noted.

The Russian Foreign Minister does not believe that Ukraine wants peace. Here too, he sees Europe's interference. "'European leaders are forbidding Kyiv from holding negotiations with Russia,' stated Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
